Answer:

The sun moves around the earth.

Explanation:

According to Ptolemy, all the planets, moons, along with the Sun and other stars move around the Earth. The Earth is at the center of the universe. This model of planetary motion is based on the assumption that the sun moves around the Earth. He accounted for the apparent motion of planets by epicycle. .

Recall the raisin cake model of the universe. Our universe is expanding between the galaxies. You measure the recession velocity

Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

Recession velocity of a galaxy is related to the distance at which the galaxy is located. This relationship is given by the hubble constant, as follows:

$v_r=HD$

Hubble constant is aproximate $70\frac{km/s}{Mpc}$ and 1 megaparsec (Mpc) is 3.26*10^6 light years. Rewriting for D:

$D=\frac{v_r}{H}$

For galaxy A:

$D=\frac{2000\frac{km}{s}}{70\frac{km/s}{Mpc}}\\\\D=28.57Mpc\\\\D=28.57Mpc*\frac{3.26*10^6ly}{1Mpc}=9.31*10^7ly$

For galaxy B:

$D=\frac{6000\frac{km}{s}}{70\frac{km/s}{Mpc}}\\\\D=85.71Mpc\\\\D=85.71Mpc*\frac{3.26*10^6ly}{1Mpc}=2.79*10^8ly$

Which of these BEST describes why an ionic solution is a good conductor of electricity while a covalent solution is a poor condu

Scrat [10]

The correct answer is:
<span>B) Ionic compounds form charged particles in solution, and electricity will only flow if charged particles are present.

In fact, in ionic compounds ions (which are charged atoms/molecules) are present in the solution, and these free charges can carry the electricity through the solution. Viceversa, in covalent compounds the valence electrons of the atoms are bound togethere between two atoms, so there are no free charges in the solution and electricity cannot flow.</span>
